breast feeding in public

Don't get me wrong I am all for breast feeding, however i dint get why do some women insist in not covering up or posting pictures while your feeding? My boys are 8 and 6 and while taking them to a toy museum recently a lady in front of our group completely uncovered and started "feeding". The husband was playing with the little girl who was at least over a year old while she was latched. It appeared she was using her a pacifier to try to get her to sleep not as a meal. She kept going in and off the nipple exposing and unexposing herself. I realize babies don't all like being covered up when they are little, but if flashing others is not ok why is it ok when a baby is around?

Why feeding in quotations? Why were you staring at this woman's breasts long enough to watch the baby latch on and off? You seem like a creeper that you were watching her so intently you could describe exactly what was going on. If it were me I'd tell your creepy butt to mind your own business.

Oh, and if you're going to a place geared towards children, you should expect that you may run into a breast feeding woman. Why not be mature about it and take that opportunity to educate your children that nursing is a perfectly natural way of feeding a baby.

Agree with brookebrian. You need to teach your boys that breastfeeding is normal. After all don't you want them to think it's natural and healthy for their wives to do it? If my kids came to me curious about a woman showing her booby with a baby around I'd tell them that she's feeding her little baby because that's where their milk comes from.

It's this attitude toward breastfeeding that makes it hard for women to have a successful breastfeeding relationship. I feel like this post should go in the 'Breastfeeding woes? Suck it up' thread as an example of the differences between developed and undeveloped countries. When mom is trying to nurse her baby, whether that baby is popping on and off or not, breasts are about food/comfort for the baby and nothing more. And so what if she was trying to nurse her so she would sleep? Are babies only allowed to nurse in public if they're starving? And finally, if you say you support breastfeeding BUT/HOWEVER... you don't really support it.

It's because of people like you that I no longer use a nursing cover. I used it at first but seeing all the anti breastfeeding posts made me realize that people need to see breastfeeding more often, not less.

Have you ever tried to tandem feed twins and keep them covered? It is impossible, or at least it was for me. It didn't mean I had to feed them any less. People like you are the reason mothers are made to feel shameful about something that is no different than whipping out a bottle and feeding their child. If you don't like it, don't look and teach your children the reason that women have breasts, problem solved, no more worries about them being traumatized from seeing them.

You ladies didn't need to jump down her throat. That isn't a common thing to see in public, don't try to say you don't notice the person in a wheelchair with no leg, a kid with DS, a bald woman from cancer. We notice things that aren't the NORM! A woman's nipple all out in the open isn't the norm unless you're at a titty bar. I don't agree or disagree with it but damn. And over a year old??? That baby needs a sippy cup! After teeth, it needs to stop.

Really?! Well I better stop my almost 17 month old from nursing. I better hop in my time machine and stop my other kids also the second they got teeth. Come to think of it, I should have stopped at 3 months because those darn teeth that don't affect nursing at all in any way. You are a raging idiot.

My son had teeth at four months. Should I have stopped then? As far as comparing breast feeding to wheelchair bound people? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Should we cover up amputees with a blanket because they're a minority? Just because something is out of YOUR personal comfort zone doesn't mean it should be hidden or that it's okay for you to stare.
